It had served its purpose well for twenty-five years or more. The present building was completed in less than two years being opened the last Monday in April, 1913, in time for the class of 1913 to be graduated from it. During the past fifteen years the school has been an institution to be proud of in Auburn. If it were able to speak it might relate happiness, joy, romance, or even tragedy, but nevertheless it will always remain in the memory of the students of Auburn High School. Page Four Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green SpMrattmt 0 Those who in the past have trod the same steps that we have trod, but who now have gone out into the wider spheres there, in each of their different walks of life to put into practice the principles which have keen instilled in them in our dear Auburn High School, the alumnae, we, the Class of 1928, dedicate this volume of Scarlet and Green. Page Six Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green JFurrltuu-ii N THE preparation of this Scarlet and Green an effort has been made to portray the spirit of the Auburn High School and to show that school as it lives today. At the same time we acknowledge that much of that which we accomplished was made possible by those who have preceded kis as students. It is our hope that we have carried on” for the best and that the experiences of the past and the activities of the present are here combined in a manner that will bring pleasure in the days to come.

B. SCHAFFER WM. WULF JOHN T. ZACHARIAS Tloard of Education The necessity and desirability of free public schools in America is quite generally conceded by all patriotic Americans. The success of a democracy depends upon an educated and enlightened citizenship. What a tremenduous responsibility then is placed upon the shoulders of those who are chosen by the people of a district to look after the interests of the Public Schools. Buildings must be erected and kept in repair. Necessary supplies and equipment must be provided. School executives and teachers must be carefully selected. All of this involves expenditures for which the people of a district must be taxed. Often the amount of the taxes, a tangible thing which can be measured, looms large in the vision of the taxpayer while the intangible, immeasureable benefits that come from the taxes are lost sight of. The Auburn Boards of Education have kept the schools in the highest rank among the schools of the state, and at the same time have been sufficiently careful of expenditures as to keep the tax rate at a reasonable figure, as an examination of the fiscal statistics of the schools of Nebraska will disclose. The Auburn Board deserves tile gratitude of the people of the community for their unselfish and unrequited service. The members of the Class of 1928 express their sincere appreciation for the educational opportunities that have been afforded. Page Ten Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green J. A.

P age Tioenty-Two Nineteen- Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green Listen my friends, and you shall hear Of this Senior Class that all revere On the twelfth of September in ’24 Seventy-five Freshmen entered A. H. S. door. Who will never forget that day and year. We said to each other, “If we advance With A’s and B's from this class this year We must strive and toil, and perchance Our emerald hue will disappear.” So together we toiled in one great mass And four of us Freshmen entered the “A” pin class. First, we had struggled; second, we had won. The work that we mentioned was started and done. Then we said goodby to our Freshman year And, “Hello, Sophomore, we’re glad to be here.” Just as we had made grade Nine victorious We were going to make grade ten even more glorious. In track we possessed two letter men And of Honor students total of ten. In declamatory we were well represented For from earning many honors we couldn’t be prevented The ability of our class showed like a brilliant garnet As we stood in A. H. S. like a great minaret. To the Sophomore year we say, “adieu,” And take up our work as juniors true. In foot-ball this year three letters we’ve won, And in basket-ball we’re proud to have one. In sub-district declamatory we gained one second place. While in the dramatic we held high ace. At this period of history we have new honors in sight. For two of our members know how to typewrite. We say they know how, for soon you will learn. That each of these classmen a medal did earn. In the literary line we possess quite an art. In A. H. S. orchestra we also take part. Of our honor students again I must tell. We have six of them with us, let’s give them a yell “A is for Aim, art, and ace We’re here to say, you’ve won the race!” Now as Seniors dignified We’ve proved to you how much we’ve tried To make this year a successful one By working together since it begun. In Athletics thirteen letter men we possess. Just who they are we’ll let you guess. Two more of the Seniors we’re proud to say Quite musically inclined brought honors our way. In the extemporanious section of the District Declamatory Contest An Auburn High Senior was certainly quite the best First place for him by the judges was decided Page Twenty-three Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green .. ■ ............. ' • • ■ ■' Ill . 1111111 ....... ........... M So for him in this Class History this place has been provided. Just once more, the honor students I feel that I must mention For intelligence and success have been our one intention At this time eleven is the sum So, how can people say that the Senior Class is dumb? Thus through A. H. S. sped the class of ‘28 Which feels fitfully prepared for the World’s open gate. Now that we are leaving, to the rest of you we say, That ever in our memories, Dear Old Auburn High will stay. —Ruth Cowell ‘28 Page Twenty-four Name Nick Name Favorite Expression Descriptive Phrase Passtime Vendla Adkins “Ven Bet the answer is funny” ....

First, we; do direct that our funeral services shall be conducted by our friends and well-wishers, our superintendent and his all-wise and ever competent faculty, who have been our guardians for so long, only asking as the last injunction of the dying, that the funeral be carried on with all the dignity and pomp that our worth, our merits, our attainments, and our position as Seniors must certainly have deserved. As to such estate as has pleased the fates and our own strong hands and brains to win for us, we do dispose of the same as follows: We give and bequeath to the dear faculty who have been our instructor in all the wisdom of the ages, a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer need they lie awake through the long watches of the night to worry over our misdemeanors and shortcomings. We give and bequeath to our beloved superintendent, Prof. J. A. Jimerson, our deepest reverance and our heartiest gratitude. In an attempt at partial payment for all he has done for us during our High School life, we make over to him here and now a heavy mortgage on our future in the Great Unknown. We give and bequeath to the Auburn High School our tenderest memories of four happy years. Perhaps the happiest we may ever know and we voice the wish that for many, many years to come, may shelter just such carefree children as we, and may her influence be ever far reaching and continue to grow. Again we give and bequeath to our beloved faculty all the amazing knowledge and startling information that wa have furnished them from time to time in our various examination papers. Much of it we know must have been entirely new to them as it undoubtedly is to all teachers and students everywhere and as we feel such knowledge would throw a new light on the world of science and learning, the faculty is hereby duly authorized to impart such knowledge as they may feel the world is ready to receive. The following may seem triffling bequests but we hope they may be accepted, not as worthless things lavishly thrown away because we can no longer keep them but as valuable gifts to those who receive them and a continual reminder of the generosity of here displayed in our free and full bestowal: We also bequeath to our dear Mr. Jimerson, the balance in our class treasury to be used in buying a pair of rubber shoes for detective work. We feel sure he will be sure to need them in dealing with our successors. To Miss Marsh, our sympathy for the difficult task she had in coaching the “Junior Class Play.” To Miss Maddox, all the old “Whiz Bangs,” “College Humors,” “True Stories,” “Spice of Life,” etc., which she has enjoyed taking from our delectable Classmates.

IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, WE HAVE HERENUTO AFFIXED OUR SEALS THIS THIRTIETH DAY OF APRIL, NINETEEN HUNDRER AND TWENTY EIGHT. (SEAL) SENIOR CLASS WITNESS: Margaret Hawxby. Page Twenty-seven T ineteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green Qlass Prophecy One day as I looked in the hour-glass of time, I turned it twice ten years ahead: To see if the friends of my old H. S. days, Would be then either living or dead. And as I gazed into the crystaline glass, An exceedingly strange procession did pass; And I recognized them after wandering long. As those of my old Senior class. First there came a barber, With wonderous pompadour; And as he clicked his shears, I saw ‘Twas Karl Dressier, a friend of yore. Then came a dude with high silk hat And monocle so pert. He was dressed in the height of style. For Mark Simpson’s quite a flirt. A nun came next with pensive gaze, With rosary and small prayer book; And then from underneath her veil, Audrey Wolfe’s sad eyes did meekly look. A ballet dancer skipped along, With fluffy skirts and looks entrancing; And as she floated past I saw, ‘Twas Viola Duncan thus lightly dancing. Then came a man with downcast eye. As sad as sad could be; Earl Andrews love affair all came to naught And a bachelor lone is he. Then Ralph G. came so tall indeed, He’s a curiosity in a zoo; For every time he bobbed his head He one inch taller grew. Dick Penney is in prison, Though he’s not forced to stay; For he is now a chaplain. And all day long doth pray. A learned professor stumbled past, Ralph always studied much. And after much prolonged, deep thought, He became a teacher of Dutch. Now Ibi Me. has a title. And the social ladder doth mount, For she went over to Europe; And there she got a count. Page Twenty- eight Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green Arthur B., the model boy; Who in high school long did tarry. Repented of his early deeds, And became a missionary. As Jay Stewart gloried in class fights, And in football won such fame; He became a mighty pugilist, With bright and glorious name. Lorine ana Vernon next strolled by; Dressed stylishly, quite fit to kill; For they eloped one fine spring day, And then went into vaudeville. A noted lecturer is Margaret H. She orated now on Women’s Rights; Her eloquence wins world-wide fame; She’s a leader in the sufferage fights. i Rutn B. was always noted, For editorial talents rare; So she went to the South Sea Islands; And started a newspaper there. Helen Martin married an aeronaut; So now she flew quite high, She drives her aeroplane alone. Way up into the sky. Now Floyd Williams was much too good; On earth with us to stay; His wings did sprout so great until, At last he flew away. Mary W. went clear to Europe; For a poodle of high pedigree; But homeward bound it fell overboard, So she threw herself into the sea. Florence C. became a sad old maid; She now lives quit alone; And because she loves all cats so much, She gives stray cats a home. Vendla A. carried a satchel small. Filled with instruments so bright; For Vendla’s a noted surgeon now, To cut folks up is her delight. Corinne Martin and Hal Paris were wed; So we don’t see her any more; For she lives in New York and has a fine house, And servants and riches galore. Marie Berger alas! Can never dance; Oh, what a hard sad life! Play cards nor go to picture shows; She’s a Methodist minister’s wife. Page Twenty-nine TJjneteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green Katherine got married two or three times; And then went to Reno for good. She’s now a hash slinger in a hotel; Though who'd ever think she could? Clark F. went to San Francisco; And became a fancy dancer; Taught the tango and the turkey trot; And no one won wealth faster. At three o’clock on each bright day. One of those swimming cranks, A. Stone, gives free exhibitions; And dives from the great high planks. Lucille K. was always much too shy, To speak in public or on the stage. So she’s a picture show actress now, And her pictures are all the rage. At the end of the line an old maid came; A homely bespectacled creature; And I saw to my horror and great surprise, Myself, as a Chemistry teacher. —Josephine McComas ‘28 Page Thirty Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green JOHN REED “Flat Tire” Football 1. 3: B.

Eagerly, yet reluctantly, confident and undaunted by the taunts of those “upper classmen”, enter the gates of High School life. Who are these? Do they not resemble some one whom we have known? Ah! Tardy memory returns and we recognize our own sophisticated selves in the embryo. Even in this early stage we wisely saw the need for leaders and so elected Neal Andrews, president; James Roby, vice-president; Homer Meyers, Secretary and treasurer. Mr. Underwood was elected as our sponsor. Having great talent within our own body we could not but prove indispensible to the school. In athletics we were well represented. James Roby made first team in football and a class basketball team was formed. Six people of the class were honored schol-asticly by receiving “A” pins. Elizabeth Sloan, Neal Andrews and Avis Wiser Page T hir ty- on e TJjneteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green participated in the operetta “Once in a Blue Moon. Many social events were held and thus our “frosh” year passed happily and profitably. The next fall the same group were reunited. But was it quite the same? Oh ye shades of departed innocence! We were so much older and so filled with the importance and dignity of being Sophomores. Our officers were elected with much fore-thought in order to uphold our newly acquired dignity. These were Ervin Sailors, president; John Reed, vice-president; Homer Meyers, secretary and treasurer. We also elected Miss Knipe as sponsor. Activities again claimed our attention. Nina Burdette proved her capability in the field of debating by attaining the distinction of being chosen for first team. Ervin Sailors, Neal Andrews, John Stevenson and John Reed were “our athletes, winning letters for their achievements. Five sophomores were presented with“A” pins. Lillemor Taylor was awarded the medal for first prize in the Lincoln Essay Contest. In the operetta, Pickles,” we were again represented by Neal Andrews, who carried an important role and Lillemor Taylor, who took the part of solo dancer. Social events again brought us joy and our second high school year passed thus. At last the fulfillment of our dreams, we are Juniors. We now have the right to “snub” the freshmen, patronize the sophomores and not be too much impressed by the all-powerful seniors. We showed great discretion in electing our officers, selecting those who, we thought, were most capable of upholding Junior dignity. These were John Reed, president; Homer Myers, vice-president; Charles Clark, secretary; and Lois Schriefer, treasurer. Miss Knipe and Miss Marsh were appointed our sponsors. No class can live upon its past achievements but is measured by the standard of its present accomplishments. Feeling the truth of this, when activities called us, we responded gladly. In athletics Neal Andrews, John Reed, Ervin Sailors, John Stevenson, Edward Allen, Homer Myers, Cleburne Stokes won letters. Neal Andrews was sagaciously chosen basketball captain, more than proving his worth as such. Nina Burdette again represented us in debating, as ably as ever before. Throughout the year “A” pins were presented to ten Juniors. In the line of music Lois Schriefer won first place for contralto solo and Roger Druliner, second place for tenor solo. In “All at Sea,” the operetta, Neal Andrews, George Kreglo, Avis Wiser, Roger Druliner, Lois Schriefer, John Reed and Marie Lawrence carried important roles, helping thus to make the production a success. Our class play, “Peg O'My Heart, proved a decided hit, showing our classes historic ability. During the year the class entertained itself at several social functions. These were cleverly planned and helped to strengthen the friendships which we had made during this, our Junior year. We, as a class, are not satisfied, with our accomplishments; for as we look into the vista of years, which is the future, we see much yet to do. May our years of training in A. H. S. help us to perform succesfully at least some of these things. —Lillemor Taylor ‘29 Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green EDWARD ALLEN “Ed” Nemaha H.

The officers whom the class elected were Emmett Andrews, president; Ruth Penney, vice-president; Frances Howe, secretary; and Marshall Howe, treasurer. The class thus organized, determined to create a lasting class spirit. During the first month we had a fine party which proved a big success. The class was well represented in athletics. Nathan Eells, Henry Feistner, and Emmett Andrews reported for basketball regularly. Ouida Hawkins of the freshman class showed her ability and won first place at the sub-district declamatory contest at Falls City. In the fall of 1927, sixty-eight pupils entered Auburn High School and received the title of Sophomores. Officers for the year were chosen, Ruth Penney, president; Nathan Eells. vice-president; and Marshall Howe, secretary and treasurer. Miss Maddox and Miss Pumphrey were sponsors. The Sophomores were proud of having a first team letter-man, Jessie Rissc. Others who reported regularly for practice were Nathan Eells, Leland Dennis, Emmett Andrews, Henry Feistner, Frederick Epperson and Joseph Letellier. Those receiving “A” pins were Bernice Sailors, Doris Williams and Marshall Howe. —Henry Feistner ‘30 Page Forty Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green Freshmen Page Forty-one TNjneteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green Freshman Class Roll Ruth Andresen Lorene Galloway Dorothy Rarick Harold Ray Armstrong Catherine Gilian Lola Rebuck Meriel Behrends Helen Gillispie Marjorie Reid Wilma Bohling Florence Golyer Minnie Rogge Josephine Brissey Imo Grant Jean Rozean Arthur Berger Perdin Handley Dottie Russell Ernest Brod Vivian Hawkins Willian Schacht LeRee Clarke Ora Humphrey Francis Spurgin Ethel Conn Chester Hutton Dick Stivers Frances Copes Mary Caroline Krueger Olga Schriefer Inez Curtis Bertha Letellier Dorothy Sloan Thomas Collin Don Lawrence Dorothy Stevenson Lloyd Crum Phyllis Long Clifford Stock Wayne Curtis Maxine Maloney Richard Story Dorothy Dressier Edward Oetjen Hazel Teare Ada Darling Fritz Oetjen Cyril Thornburg Inez Dovel Thelma Pasco Van Tracy Lorin Dennis Verna Preston William Kearnes James Dustin Wesley Palmer Marion Adcock Mary Katherine Fraser Bruce Flack William Rogge Ellis Rothrock Hertha Oestman Freshman Class History On the morning of September fifth, nineteen twenty-seven we, known, collectively as “The Freshmen.” sixty in number, stepped timidly upon the threshold of A. H. S. Only those who have gone through the same ordeal can realize our plights, our sinking hearts and our wandering through the halls. Of course every blunder was blamed upon “Those Freshmen.” Gradually by experience we learned how to study, and our dull brains began to brighten with the “Constant Use Polish.” We realize that we are at the bottom of a long stair-way; that long and straight stair-way, with opportunity standing with open arms at the top. Our first class meeting was held for the purpose of electing officers, the following were elected: President, Perdin Handley; Vice-President, Ernest Brod; Treasurer, Inez Dovel; Secretary, Marjorie Reed. Miss McCormick and Miss McGrew were appointed our class sponsors oi whom we are plenty proud. We feel very grateful to the P. T. A. for the party given us on December 1st at the High School which was immensly enjoyed by all. A patriotic party was held February eleventh in the High School Gym. Everyone reported a good time. The following members received ‘ A” pins; Wilma Bohling, Ernest Brod. Perdin Handley, Marjorie Reed, Mary Caroline Krueger, Dorothy Stevenson, LeRee Clarke, Helen Gillispie, Lola Rebuck and Ruth Andresen. Our class was further distinguished by Miss Inez Dovel in receiving Highest honors, as pianist, in the Mink Tournament at Peru. Ellis Rothrock and Inez Dovel took principal parts and also nine other Freshmen were very well represented in the operetta. Many of our boys went out for athletics, and made a name for themselves in both football and basket-ball. We feel very proud of our record this year due largely to the part played by our sponsors Miss McCormick and Miss McGrew. We are certain that the high school shall hear from the Sophomore Class of 1929.

They showed their talent at the Mink tournament February fifth and sixth, in that they received second place; all of our solo numbers placed first. Auburn received the cup. Vendla Adkins and Lois Schriefer were the soloists. May fourth, the girls participated in the State Musical Contest held at Lincoln, Nebraska. During the year they sang for various occasions, including the Women’s club, conventions, Delphion Club, Nemaha P. T. A., and the Kiwanis Club. All in all, they have made a splendid showing for Auburn High School and Mrs. Langford is to be congratulated on her selection of the Glee Club. The officers of the club for this year were: President, Miriam McGrew; Treasurer, Catherine Rarick. Page Forty-four Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green Toys Cjlee Qluh At the beginning of the school year, thirty boys were selected by try-outs for the Boys’ Glee Club. They have shown great interest in this organization and also marked improvement as the year progressed. The boys have made several public appearances at school functions, Kiwanis Club, and various other community affairs. They won second in the Mink Music Contest. Ralph Krueger, baritone soloist placed first and Roger Druliner, Tenor Soloist placed second thus contributing largely to the winning of the Trophy. They also took part in the State Music Contest in Lincoln, May 4 and 5. Neal Andrews, President; Roger Druliner, Secretary. Page Forty-five TJjneteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green Orchestra During the last weeks of the first semester Mr. Jimerson asked all those who would like to start an orchestra to speak to him. However nothing was accomplished until the beginning of the second semester when we met and had our first practice. Those present with their instruments were: Director. Mr. Jimerson, Cornet; Pianist, Ruth Schaffer; Violins, Audrey Wolfe, Ruth Hawxby, Ruth Andresen, Wavie O’Hara, Thelma Waltz, Dorothy Stewart, and Margaret Swift; Saxophones, Richard Penney, Vernon Strole, and Chris Simon; Trombone, Leon Schaffer; Baritone Horn, John Stevenson. Mr. Jimerson has been a very capable director, and through his efforts we have accomplished much this year and expect to accomplish more next year. The members of the orchestra thank him for the progress they have made. Page Forty-six Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green Operetta “ALL AT SEA” Friday evening, April 13, the light opera, “All at Sea,” was given by the Auburn High school students. It was interesting, pleasing and pretty and those who took part are to be congratulated upon the talent displayed. The rising curtain presented to the view a toy orchestra, composed of the primary children, which was exceedingly novel and clever. The first act the ship, Pinafore has set out to capture the Pirates of Penzance. All are talking about them and are so confident that they will eventually imprison them. Several romances are brought to the notice. Finally everyone retires, confident that the police left on guard will apprehend the marauders. That night the pirates take possession of the ship. In the second act, “The Morning of the Following Day,” the situation is found to be very difficult and although many suggestions are offered none solve the dilemma until the fairies arrive and make the ending a happy one for all. There were twenty-three leads in all, all of wnich were ory well chosen and well played. The first number was sung by Avis Wiser, a flower girl who sang of her wares. She was very pretty. Ralph Krueger, captain of the Pinafore, sang with his crew and a very rollicking, sea-going song it was, too. One very comical feature was that of Sergeant, John Stevenson and his “caps,” Sailors, Sloan, Nixon, Davis, Stewart and Williams. They were always perplexed. John Reed, as Sir Joseph Parker, sang and did well as the irritable first Lord of the Admiralty. Lila Codington, as Josephine, the captains daughter and Roger Druliner, an able seaman, sang a duet. They played their parts exceedingly well. Lois Schriefer, as Patience and George Kreglo, a poet, had a pretty duet. Vendla Adkins, as Mable sang several beautiful songs. Doris Umland as Phyllis and Nathan Eells, as Strephon, sang together. Mark Simpson, as the pirate king, was very good. There were many other characters who added a great deal of amusement and interest- to the play. Latin Club GENS TOGOTA The Latin Club was organized for the purpose of increasing interest in the study of Latin. The following officers were elected: President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer ... Sponsor ...... Bernice Sailors .Marshall Howe . Ruth Penney ..Nathan Eells .. Fern Maddox Programs were arranged to aid in a better understanding of the practical and natural value of Latin. Latin plays were presented to give a glimpse of Roman Life and to emphasize that the Romans were actual living people and Page Forty-seven Gb{ineteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green the Latin Language their natural method of expression. Individual reports and group discussion brought out the benefits of the study of Latin. The members and friends enjoyed a Christmas program followed by a social hour on December 19th. In February a valentine party was held which was the liveliest and most enjoyable event of the year. The Freshmen studying Latin were entertained May 14th. A Latin play was given followed by initiation of new members. The 1928 members hope the Freshmen will enjoy the Club and increase its activities. The Latin Club closed a successful year in editing a paper “Primus Nuntius.” Normal Training On October 14 the Junior and Senior Normal Trainers, having previously decided that they should like to organize a club for the furtherance of a common cause, met for the purpose of organizing a club.

The cast included the following: Ruth Beauchamp ..................... Ralph Krueger ...................... Wayne Sloan ........................ Helen Martin ....................... Merle Sailors ...................... Catherine Rarick ............... Charles Davis ...................... Herbert Greenlee ................... Karl Dressier ...................... ... Frances Raymond ............Michael .......Ned Andrews Miss Janet Raymond ....Mrs. Widdimore ..............Ellen .......Mr. Raymond .............Stiles ............Johnnie The play was the success that would be expected of the above cast. Ruth Beauchamp and Ralph Krueger starring made a performance of real talent, while Wayne Sloan as second lead added much, as did each of the other six characters. The comedy is the story of a girl who expects to marry a man of conventions, expects to, but does not wish to. She meets a young Irishman who considers himself a success in life because he is happy. Romantic, happy-go-lucky, he appealed to Frances as being everything which Ned was not, and everything which she desired. Of course complications arise, but in the end she happily follows the “Gypsy Trail,” with Michael, although it is modified to fit the standards of her family. Page Fifty GE{ineteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green tMay T)ay May the 18th was selected as May Day. A pageant portraying the development of Nebraska was given by the children of the Public schools under the supervision of the music department. The May Queen her attendants and the Prince were chosen by the popular vote of the student body of the high school. A very interesting track meet under the supervision of the athletic department was held in the morning, several schools of the country participating. Ar. award was given the school having the largest number of points. The idea of May Day is being worked out in the more progressive schools of the state and is a fitting climax to the various activities of the school year.

An effort has been made to make this annual compare favorably with those previously edited. In the years to come may this volume serve to remind you of those days spent in Auburn H. S. Page Fifty-five Djneteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green ‘Debating This year’s debating season may be considered as most successful. Only one debate of the season was lost and that to a larger town and to a team which was more experienced than ours. Thus we have a right to be proud of this team which consisted of Margaret Hawxby, Nina Burdette, and Herbert Greenlee. Margaret Hawxby made a splendid record although this was her first year of debating. Margaret has the unusual ability of catching and holding the attention of the audience throughout her entire speech. Originality is probably her mos'; outstanding characteristic. Nina Burdette was one of the strong debators of last year’s team. Her experience proved to be a great help to the others on the team this season. Nina has always met her opponents calmly and with well prepared arguments. Her speeches always impress her audience as well as the judges. Herbert Greenlee as last speaker proved himself one of the most capable on our team. His extemporaneous speeches were quite unusual. Much credit is also due Catherine Rarick for the splendid way in which she substituted for the first speaker in the season’s first two debates. SCHEDULE Beatrice, here ..........................

Coach Higgins had charge of his first team at Auburn and was ably assisted by Coach Karges. The record of defeating Pawnee and holding Tecumseh to a 7-0 score is adequate proof of the proficiency of the Auburn coaches. MORRIS STEWART Captain 1927 Jay, playing at tackle, made a wonderful leader for Auburn and his generalship was responsible in part for the successful season. His first year was spent at the position of fullback. This year he made the All-Southeastern. This was his last year and his position will be a difficult one to fill. JOHN STEVENSON Captain-elect 1928 John played his second year in the Auburn line-up as a guard and became conspicuous for his speed and shift-ness. He was at his best in breaking up the opponents plays and making large holes for the backs. As captain of the 1928 team his leadership should carry a strong year so next season he should be at his best. P age Fifty-eight Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green SAILORS REED SIMPSON NIXON ALLEN Half Quarter Guard Tackle Fullback Games of the Season SHUBERT GAME Shubert came to Auburn for the first game of the season and were defeated 5D-0. Buckingham was easily the star of the game with a 50 yard run for a touchdown. This was his first year and he played a bang up game. Buck will be lost by graduation this spring which will be a great loss to next year’s team. Stokes as guard also played a fine game. He opened large holes in the line on the offensive and smothered the opponents on the defensive. This was his first year. Next year he should be one of “Auburn’s Best.” FALLS CITY GAME Auburn defeated Falls City 7-0 on Falls City’s new gridiron for their second victory of the year. Sailors. Auburn’s flashy halfback raced 40 yards for the lone touchdown on an intercepted pass. This is his second year and next year he should develop into one of the best ends or halfbacks in the southeastern. Wilson at tackle played a fine game against his old home town. This was his first year ol football, and we wish he was not a senior. NEBRASKA CITY GAME Auburn journeyed to Nebraska City for their first defeat of the season, losing 6-0. The breaks were the deciding factor in this contest. Hacker at center was outstanding by his fierce tackling and good judgment of the opponents’ plays. This is his third and last year. He received center on the second “All Southeastern” for two consecutive years. It will be very hard to replace him next year. Page Fifty-nine Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green BUCKINGHAM KREUGER HACKER WILLIAMS IRVIN Fullback Halfback Center End Guard PAWNEE GAME The Pawnee team came to Auburn with hopes of winning another championship but they were defeated 6-0. Captain Stewart at tackle and captain-elect Stevenson at guard were the outstanding men in either line. They opened big holes for the Auburn backs and then stopped the great fullback Roberts. Stewart will be lost to the team but his two years for Auburn will be remembered. This was also Stevenson’s second year so he should make another great leader. Both men were placed on “All Southeastern” and third “All State” teams. PLATTSMOUTH GAME Plattsmouth came to Auburn prime for a victory after beating several of the Omaha teams, but the best they could do was to earn a 6-6 tie. The game resulted in a punting dual. Plattsmouh making their touchdown on a fluke punt, Auburn’s touchdown resulted in a 90 yard drive off tackle. Each back and linesman featuring in the twenty or more plays. TECUMSEH GAME The Tecumseh-Auburn game was to the Southeastern what the Army-Navv game was to the world. This game was a deciding factor for the championship Tecumseh won 7-0 and also the championship with it. Nixon, Auburn’s flashy fullback and tackle was easily the star of the game with an 80 yard run to Tecumseh’s one yard line. This was Nixon’s second year and he was a great player. He made the second “All Southeastern” team at tackle. He will not be back next year so a vacant tackle position is going to be hard to fill. Simpson and Allen also played a good game. Simpson making a flying tackle that saved a touchdown for Auburn. This was his first year and he will not be back. Allen at fullback did some very fine plunging and tackling. This was his first year but greater and better football is expected from him next year. Page Sixty Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green DAVIS STOKES MYERS WILSON ANDREWS End Guard End-Tackle Tackle Quarter-Half HUMBOLDT GAME Auburn journeyed to Humboldt where they met stiff opposition but finally won 12-9. Andrews and Krueger proved their mettle by their passes and end runs. This was their first year. Andrews will be lost by graduation. Some University is going to receive a great halfback next year when Ralph enters their camp. WYMORE GAME Th Auburn-Wymore game was played in a snow' and wind storm so it was anyones game. Wymore won 7-0. Williams and Davis at ends showed their ability by their great defensive work. This was their first year. Neither will be back. Reed at quarterback played his best game for Auburn. His judgment in calling plays and good tackling was a great help to the team. This was his first year but great hopes are held for him next year. PERU GAME On Thanksgiving Peru came to Auburn for the annual battle and won 7-6. This was a hard fought game from start to finish with finally a place kick deciding the winner. Both teams scored one lone touchdown. Myers a one year man at end showed his ability by breaking up the opponents plays and his good work on the offense. He will be back next year and great things are expected from him. Page-Sixty-one TJineteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green McConnell Skeen Ely Gardner Conner Kimball Feistner Eells Wulf Epperson Lutgen Foyt Ward Thornburg Cowell Armstrong Second Football Team The Auburn Second Team met and defeated Talmage high school in their opening football game at Auburn 13-0. Sloan and Epperson each made one touchdown. Epperson and McConnell’s line plunging were exceptionally good. Sloan’s passes to McConnell and Foyt were also outstanding. Auburn was never stopped by the opponents but the breaks saved them more than one touchdown. In their second meeting Talmage was more fortunate and held Auburn to a 6-6 tie. Epperson making the touchdown. McConnell also caught a number of passes from Sloan for long gains but they couldn’t put a touchdown over. Sloan broke lose for a 60 yard return on the kickoff to Talmage’s 20 yard line but he was caught before he could make a touchdown. Epperson, Eells, Wolf, Skeen, Ely and Ward will all be back next year and first team berths are waiting for them. Sloan, Simpson, McConnell, and Foyt will graduate. These men will be hard to replace next year. Page Sixty-two 2Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green .. ....... ....... ...... ..... ■ ......... .......... Taskethall Karges Sailors Stewart Davis Meyers Risse Allen Sloan Krueger Andrews Reed Higgins First Team Games HUMBOLDT GAME The opening of the Basketball season started with Auburn winning over Humboldt 21-9. Captain Andrews and Sailors tied for high scoring honors with six points apiece. Sailors was the bright spot on the Auburn team, his guarding and basket shooting was a feature. This is Sailors’ second year and he will be a great help to the next year’s team. SYRACUSE GAME Syracuse came to Auburn with high hopes but they were also beaten by the large score of 27-10. It was a hard fought game throughout but Auburn was never headed. Reed at center was the outstanding man with eleven points for high scoring honors. This is Reed’s second year and great things are expected of him next year. NEBRASKA CITY GAME Auburn’s hopes of an unbeaten team this year were shattered when Nebraska City defeated them on their own floor 20-9. The game was very rough and slow. Reed was high point man with 5 points and Krueger was next with 4 DAWSON GAME The jinx seemed to have fastened itself on Auburn for Dawson walked off with an easy 21-11 score. The brand of dribbling that Greene of Dawson showed was too much for the Auburn boys. Reed was high point man with 4 points. PERU GAME Auburn met Peru on their own floor and defeated them by the close score of 26-25. Sloan and Reed were high point men with 8 points each. Sloan cleared the scholastic hurdles and was eligible for his first game. The passing attack of Auburn was the best part of the game. Page Sixty-three cNjneteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green PLATTSMOUTH GAME Plattsmouth came to Auburn fresh from victories over several Omaha teams and they were held to the lone score of 20-14. Considering this they beat Omaha worse than they did Auburn. Sloan was the star of the game and also high point man with 10 points, but the combined force from Plattsmouth took the lead late in the third quarter and played a stalling game which Auburn could not break up. Sloan played his fourth and last year for Auburn and he will be a man hard to replace next season. SHUBERT GAME Auburn journied to Shubert and were victorious by a 24-17 score. This was a very fast game although the court was small. All of Auburn’s five were working in order and Auburn had made eleven points before Shubert ever scored. Sloan was high point man with twelve points. FALLS CITY GAME Falls City came to Auburn with hopes for their first victory but their hopes went for naught for they were defeated 20-10. This is Stewart’s second year and he played a great game at guard. Stewart was good at dribbling and taking the ball through the opponent’s defense. Stewart will graduate this year and it will be very hard to replace him. NEBRASKA CITY GAME Nebraska City again met Auburn and defeated them on their own court 27-18. Risse. a substitute center was the star of the contest and also high point man with 8 points. This is his first year so great things are expected of him in his next two years. HUMBOLDT GAME Auburn again met Humboldt and defeated them 28-24. Humboldt lead Auburn until the last three minutes when Auburn forged to the front when Sloan and Krueger threw in 4 field goals to take the lead by four points. Sloan was high point man with 14 points. Davis came into the lime light because cf his excellent guarding in the last few minutes when Stewart was sent to the showers for four fouls. Davis proved a good guard in the tight places, also a good dribbler in the stall. Davis will be lost through graduation and it will be hard to find a man to replace him. PERU GAME Peru came to Auburn intent on revenging their defeat earlier in the season and they wen 17-13. Auburn’s front line were having an off night in hitting the basket but Sailors and Stewart carried the burden of the offensive with 4 points each. This was one of the hardest fought games of the year and also one of the cleanest. SHUBERT GAME Shubert returned to Auburn for the next engagement and were beaten 31-24. Captain Andrews played his best game of the year scoring 10 points. Andrews played left forward and was a hard man to get through on the defensive and very fast on the offense. This is his second year so he should prove to be a great forward next year. Sloan was high point man with 15 points. DAWSON GAME Auburn went to Dawson for revenge, but they again met defeat by a score of 27-18. Auburn’s inability to hit the basket spelled defeat for them. Sloan was high point man with 7 points. STATE TOURNAMENT Auburn entered the State Tournament in Class C. Clay Center was their opponent. Clay Center defeated Auburn 21-13. Auburn played an inferior brand of basketball. Sloan and Andrews were both sick so a win wasn’t expected. Sloan was high point man with 9 points. Page Sixty-four Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green MINK TOURNAMENT Auburn entered the Mink Tournament at Peru and were placed in Class A. Their opponent was Sabetha, the strongest team in northeastern Kansas. Sabetha defeated Auburn 24-15 in one of the fastest games of the tournament. Krueger played at his best in this game with 6 points to his credit. This was Krueger’s first and last year for Auburn. He will be greatly missed next year. N. E. K. TOURNAMENT Auburn entered the N. E. K. Tournament at Sabetha but Soldier defeated them 22-21 in a Class A game. This was the most exciting game of the tournament because it was impossible for Auburn to hit the hoop and make it stay, although they shot at least 20 times in the last two minutes of the game. Sloan was high point man with eleven points. SECOND BASKETBALL TEAM The Auburn second team started the season with a 19-71 win over the fast Nemaha team. Risse, the center was high point man with 8 points. Handley and Druliner tied for second with 4 points each. This was one of the fastest second team games that was played on the Auburn court during the season. Dawson was the “Second’s” next opponent and they were beaten 15-10. Sloan was high point man with 9 points. Kimball showed his ability in this game by his clever floor work and basket shooting. He will be back next year for some more honors. The Shubert second team met defeat from the Auburn boys on their own court 13-4. Allen and Risse tied for high point man with 4 points each. Allen and Risse will be back next year, and they are figured for a place on the first team. Falls City met defeat from the Auburn boys 10-4. This game proved rather easy for Auburn although the score does not indicate it. Risse was high point man with 6 points. Druliner played an exceptionally good game at forward. He scored from the court and played an air tight defense. This is his last year and it will be hard for some one to fill his shoes in such a capable manner as he did. The “Seconds” lost to Nebraska City 15-9 in one of the best games of the season. Risse was high point man with 5 points. Eells carried the brunt of the defensive work. His guarding was very good and he was a good passer. He will have two more years with Auburn. Auburn journeyed to Nemaha for their return game and were beaten 29-22. E. Andrews was high point man with 8 points. Emmett played a whirlwind game at fdrward, his good shooting and floor work was outstanding. He will have two more years with Auburn and should make one of the best forwards. Shubert came to Auburn for the return game but they were again defeated by a 13-5 score. Risse was high point man with 5 points. Letellier playing at guard proved to be one of the best second team guards in the southeastern. He was adept at breaking up the opponents plays, then returning with the ball down the court to his own goal. This is his last year and he will be greatly missed next season.

Page Sixty - Six Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green ICitprarg Page Sixty-seven Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green The Trail of the Blue Heron A roar and a rumble was heard over head. Then all at once it became a deafening thunder; then a small, powerful, yet graceful plane swooped to the ground and let itself like it's name sake—“Blue Heron.” Immediately a small head was thrust out from the cockpit, two bright eyes flashed Lo Dad. “Hi there, Snookums. Come out and see the new boss.” “Why where’s Comet?” cried the girl, (Comet was the head man of the company) but her father was gone. Meredith climed out. She was catching to the eye. Clothed in an aviation suit, she looked rather like a boy but one glance at her dark vivid face told you differently. Her black glossy curls hung over her shoulder, but now they were tucked in her helmet. Her eyes were a deep velvet brown, that sparkled with the happy carefree life that a girl cf her age should live. Her face clouded for a moment; then she tore across the landing field after her father, who at the farther end of the field was just entering the office cf the Inc., Air Company. Just as she was through the gate of the yards someone hailed her. “Oh Snookums have you seen the new boss? He’s as hard hearted as a ten of bricks. “But where’s Ccmet?” she interrupted. “Oh, he was transferred to the branch over near Chicago.” “Well if Comet is gone there isn’t any use for me to stay,” so she turned to walk around the building. Now since Comet was gone who could be her best friend? Who could she tell her troubles to? Her dad was usually gone on flights tc the Blue River Mountain. While he was gone Comet made up to he the loss of her father and the loss of her mother who had died several years before. Just as she was going by one of the side doors, someone yelled, “Hey you, get that plane over to the field for practice.” Meredith turned at the sharp command. The voice was strange, and she did not see what she expected. Instead of a middle aged man, it was a young fellow—decidedly young. His curly red hair hung over his forehead. He was bread shouldered and made you think you were being protected. His steel grey eyes widened with astonishm:nt as she wheeled, Why—oh I beg your pardon Miss. I thought it was Jake; I told him to take his plane over about an hour ago ana J thought he hadn’t.” “Certainly,” smiled Meredith; then she broke out into a tinkling laugh of merriment, “I’m afraid that’s quite complimentary to Jake, as he is quite the man around here.” The young man noticed that her dimples chased each other deepening and then fading. She turned and walked away. Is that the boss she wondered. Nice looking, but probably has a fiery temper. She glanced at her watch; just fifteen minutes before time to go to the training field. Just then a whistle blew. Good grief, the first bell,” she exclaimed, “My watch must be slow. No time for lunch now.” So she turned and ran back out to,the Blue Heron. She hopped in; in an instant the motor was roaring; then it slid gracefully off the ground, rose into the air, circled and dropped in one of the adjoining fields. Twelve planes were already assembled; the aviators all eager to begin. As Meredith quickly and deftly propelled her machine into its proper place, she noticed a copper colored head and a pair of broad shoulders showing above the group of men by the instructor. At a given signal twelve planes rose circled. A butterfly was formed; then it faded; more fancy exercises were gone through. After this the planes landed and two men went up in each. Immediately twelve parachutes drifted to the earth and practice was over. The next morning the men all formed the line at the office to receive Page Sixty-eight Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green instructions. While at the desk they gave their names, the work they had been doing and receiving further orders. It was Meredith’s time. “Next,” called Vern Gates, the new boss and the young gentleman who had talked to Meredith the day before. She stepped quietly to the desk, but the red head still bent over looking at some papers. All the men turned to look at the girl admiringly, for she was indeed very much respected. This morning she was a picture worth looking at. She was well dressed from the tips of her toes to her head in a pair of tan oxfords and a khaki suit. Her dark curls were left to tumble over her shoulders at their will. With lips parted in a half smile that lurked in the corners of her mouth, her eyes sparkled with the delight of giving a surprise. For not yet did the hot headed, handsome Mr. Gates know that a girl was doing a man’s work very eff-ciently in handling planes. “What machine do you use?” the man at the desk asked without looking up. “The Blue Heron,” said a soft voice. Vern Gates very much surprised straightened up, “Have you been working here?” “Yes Sir,” murmured Meredith. “Do you realize this isn’t a place for a mere slip of a girl?” he fired at her. “I have been driving the mail route from Benton to New York, and when I don’t go on that route I go to the Rock Ridge Mountain and keep watch for Mr. Doner while he’s off duty. I believe my work has always been satisfactory,” flamed up Meredith. “Well Jake can take the Blue Heron and your route.” “But I— if you please sir—I—” “That will do; I will find something else for you,” his tone emphatically told her she was dismissed. But here Jake spoke up, “Mr. Gates, the Blue Heron is Snookum’s own ship. The Company gave it to her Christmas for—well because she deserved it. And I’d rather not take her work.” “Well you can take it or none,” was the authorative reply. “Next!” Jake and Snookums went on out side. Jake argued and was not going to take it, but Meredith persuaded him to by saying she could still drive her plane and then she could get out more with the ycung folks. Meredith turned and went back to one of the little cottages. There were twenty of them all built alike, and each had a yard fenced off. These cottages were the homes of the employees of the large firm. They were all neat, but at the cottage where Snookums and her father lived pretty flowers bordered the walk. A hammock was stretched across one corner. A swing with a board seat, room enough for two, hung from an old oak tree. Meredith’s aunt kept house for them. But today Meredith did not see these comforting things. She ran into the house and flung herself across the bed and sobbed as though her heart would b) eak. What was happening back in the office, what was that terrible old hombre thinking, was Mr. Gates laughing at her? Was Mr. Gates laughing at her? No! He tried to dismiss the matter from his mind, but all morning the slim dark beauty kept dancing before him. Deep wistful eyes haunted him. He tried to tell himself he did it for her own good. He was really sorry but it was too dangerous for her. This kid was probably lonesome. Of course he could make it up to her; he’d take her to a movie once in a while—she would be pleased with that. Little did he know that she was popular as she was pretty. For three days the Blue Heron was silent and was left in the hanger. No glimpse of the dark curls was seen by anyone. In the meantime the redheaded Vern Gates had moved into the house just across the road from Meredith Bell and her father. Page S ixty -n in e TJjneteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green On the fourth day just as Vern was unlocking the office door he heard a roar. Turning around he found it to be the Blue Heron just leaving the ground. Up—up, it rose higher and higher. It was headed for High Ridge Mountain. No—now it had turned to the east. Where could the child be going? Something would go wrong with her machine sometime and she would be killed. The day wore on, unconsciously Vern found himself watching the distant horizon. She had not come yet when the building was locked for the evening. So he turned the field lights on and about nine o’clock the plane lit. Vern Gates was sitting on his porch smoking when she came down the road. Not once did she glance at him although she was perfectly aware of it. She ran lightly up the steps—stopped to talk a few minutes with her aunt, and then went into the house. A little later a low sport modeled roadster slid to a stand still before the Bell gate. A tall young lad in light flannels went up the walk and sat down on the porch. Presently Meredith came out in a shimmering blue gown with a coat thrown over her arm. Down at the car they turned and called back to the lady on the porch, “Expect us back sooner or later.” They drove off leaving a cloud of dust to settle on the bitter Mr. Gates. The next day Meredith again left, but this time she was home earlier. Vern stayed at the office later than usual and when he reached home several cars were parked at the Bell gate. Young people were overflowing the yard. There was a couple in the hammock, a couple in the swing—several sitting on the porch. One boy was playing a ukelele, some were singing; all seemed to be having a glorious carefree time. Vern went on into the house and fixed his own supper. As sounds of the merry-making reached his ears, he said to himself, “The little minx isn’t so lonesome. Looks as if my sympathy and company isn’t needed.” After supper he sat down by the window. He wasn’t going to sit out on the porch and let that gang over there see how lonesome he was. A little later he went to bed, but for a long time he lay and listened to the happy voices. Every day for a week she went away. Vern was awfully curious, but when he questioned anyone they appeared rather close-mouthed. One Saturday he went to a fair at a town about sixty miles distant. He arrived in the middle of the afternoon. He pushed his way through a crowd at the grandstand; the crowd was watching an airplane. A man was out on one of the wings—the plane looped the loop, dived, sailed on its side, did the tail spin. Here the man dropped—the crowd gasped; then a parachute opened. The crowd fell back relieved as the man landed safely, and turned its attention to the airplane. All at once it fell straight toward the air, turning once or twice; then it quivered, turned on its side, and suddenly it rose again steadily into the air. The crowd was wild with excitement. Vern asked a man standing near him who the aviator was. “Oh, it’s an awfully pretty little girl—name’s Bell, I believe. Quite a clever trick don’t you think? You see if she should lose control of her plane while pulling that stunt she’d be killed instantly. Why—” Vern paled, “Do you mean she was doing that as a stunt.” “Yes,” replied the man, “been doing it for a week.” Vern waited to hear no more. He was gone—sure enough it was the Blue Heron landing. He pushed his way through the crowd till he was at the side of Meredith. He cried, “Meredith!” She looked up and said very wistfully “You’ve come at last Vern?” For an answer he lifted her up and carried her to his car, where they could be alone. —Violet Krueger, ’29. Page Seventy Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green AN INDIAN RAID One hot day in August, 1877 some people from the Red View settlement heard that a tribe of Irquois Indians were going to raid a settlement farther down the Delware by the name of Center View. That evening there were three men and one boy about seventeen years of age sent down the river to Center View which was only seven or eight miles away. The names were William, whom they called Bill; Allen, whom they called Al; Jimmy who was called Jim, and the boy’s name was Hubert.. They all started down the river in two canoes. Bill and Al in one canoe and Jim and Hubert in the other canoe. The group had gone only about a mile when suddenly Jim pointed down at the side of the river. There were several fresh Indian tracks and among some rocks was a pipe which they must have recently dropped for the tobacco inside the pipe was still afire. The men had not gone far when they saw two Indians coming up the river. They were wading and seemed to be looking for something. Bill and A1 took their canoe on the right side of the river and hid it and themselves behind a large log which some rocks had stopped from flowing down the stream. Jim and Hubert hid on the other side behind some weeds and grasses which overhung the bank. The men all waited patiently until the Indians came up even with them. Jim from one side and Al from the other jumped out and choked the Indians so that they would not make any noise. The Indians were killed without a sound from either one. The four men then climed back into their canoes and started on down the river without a word from any of them. It soon began to grow dark so they decided to camp for the night. They pulled the canoes up along side of the bank and they all clambered out upon the bank. They were getting ready to eat their supper when they heard a yell from some Indians which were on the same shore as they were only farther in-shore. Jim jumped to his feet and said that he was going to find out who that was and how many of them there were. They all tried to persuade him not to go but he was off before they could stop him. The other three men waited patiently for his return. All at once something behind them snapped a twig. Hubert grabbed his rifle which was near and turned around to find out who intruder was, but it was only Jim. He had been running, for perspiration was streaming down his face. As quickly as Jim cculd get his breath he told them what he saw. “There was a large fire and around the fire there must have been three or four hundred indians having a war dance. They were all brandishing their tomahawks and other weapons.” “We must leave this place instantly or they will surely find us,” said Al. The men packed their belongings that they had out and were soon racing along the river. Hubert suggested that they travel clear down to the settlement that night, but that question was soon put to a close for the river was too dangerous to travel on by night, there were too many boulders and rapids and there were too many prowling Indians on the shores. They soon landed again, only on the opposite side this time. They landed and quickly had their supper over with. When night came upon them they took turns in keeping watch. Bill and Al were to watch the first half and Jim and Hubert the last half of the night. Things went well all night and very early in the morning they arose, ate their cold breakfast and had started on down the river before sunrise. As they were going down the river two shots were fired from unknown enemies. The first splashed the water up about a foot from the right side of the boat, but the second went through that side of the conoe striking Hubert in the Page Seventy-one (7Njneteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green leg. There were no other shots fired after these two, but the last shot had made a hole in one side of the canoe. So Hubert had to keep dipping water out with his cap in order to keep the boat from sinking. They soon reached the settlement and A1 jumped out of the canoe and began spreading the news, while Jim and Bill helped Hubert into the fort. A council was at once held by all the men in the settlement to discuss the plans for their defense. The women and children were all to go into the fort which was made of stone, and their men were to scatter out and be prepared to fight from any or all directions if necessary. Each man was provided with a rifle and one hundred shells, and after eating a hearty meal went to his post. There was not a sign of trouble until about five o’clock that evening, and then all at once a shot rang out from the east killing one of the defenders of the fort, and bringing all the other men to attention. The fight had started. On and on came the Indians until they had surrounded the settlement. They were surely surprised to find that the pale faces were ready for them. The air was full of shots from all sides and shouts and yells from the wounded. When the Indians had come close enough to shoot with their bows and arrows they tied rags and leaves on the arrows and after setting fire to them in such a way that they succeeded in firing the buildings. All the men were soon forced to retreat to the blockhouse. There was just one other building besides it that remained whole, the others were burned up or were then covered with flames, which reached to mighty lengths in the air and lightened the whole battleground, even penetrating many yards, through the dense forest. A scream was heard from one of the women. They turned to see her pointing to an ignited arrow, hurled by one of the warrior’s bows, which had stuck in the dry roof of the blockhouse. A lad of about eighteen years quickly responded by graping a bucket with some water in it and climbed out upon the roof. The Indians did not see the boy until he was over half way to the tiny flame which unless soon extinguished would soon get the whole building in flames. A cry was heard from one of the savages—“twish” went the string of a bow, and an arrow cut through the flesh of his arm but he kept on unhesitatingly. The boy reached the arrow, grasped it in his hand and hurled it down to the ground below. At that instant another one of the dreaded arrows pierced his leg, as he fell he poured the writer from the bucket on the fire and extinguished the flame. Encouraged by the yells and cries from the blockhouse he tried to catch his hold on the roof. He finally succeeded in getting a hold on the eaves, he hung their swaying in the air, gave a last wistful look at his companions and then dropped to the ground below. He fell on a group of Indians who were waiting below, but who had been pushed on by their eager companions, killing him and one of the warriors instantly. The Indians not being able to fire the fort drew back and had a council meeting, after about twenty minutes twenty Indians departed into the forest. Soon the rest of the warriors began to attack again. Before long about fifteen Indians were seen carrying a large log to break through the barred windows. They came up from the rear not expecting to be discovered quite so soon. The men in the block house waited until they were within about thirty or forty yards from them and then several of them shot, two of the foremost warriors dropped but there immediately appeared two more to take their places. They fired again, three of them falling this time. Before they could fire again they had broken through the window. One of the warriors tried to climb through but one of the guards hit him a mighty blow with the breech of Page Seventy -two Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green his gun, crushing his skull as if it had been an egg shell; the rest were soon driven back into the forest. They called their companions and stood out of range frcm any shots that might have reached them, pointing excitingly at the broken window. But one of the men who seemed to be their chief shook his head and they departed. The woods were so quiet that they seemed to be completely vacant of any more of these hostile enemies. Evidently the first of the attack was over and they probably would do a great deal of figuring before attacking again, which they were sure they would do for Indians never give up the first time if they are defeated. The living were tenderly cared for by the women and everything possible done to again bring about order. Twelve men kept guard so that if the Indians came back they could not start lighting them before they were upon them. At early dawn the next morning the Indians came upon them again, but the white men were ready. The shots began to come again from all directions. The white men shot only where they saw flashes or when an Indian happened to get so close that they could see him. The Indians used many arrows tipped with fire and most of the settlement were soon going to be at the mercy of these invaders. The Indians were still coming and were already on the outskirts of the settlement and had taken the scalps of five of the brave defenders. The Indians were breaking in the door of the blockhouse where all of the people now were when some of them towards the back turned and ran off into the forest. More and more left until they were all gone. They then at once noticed coming towards the river was a large group of soldiers that had come as reinforcements. If they had come just five minutes later most of the white people would probably have been scalped. The soldiers had seen the light from the burning buildings and had come to their rescue. They stayed several days and helped repair the damage done. After this the Indians never showed up around there and the settlement came to be a thriving town. —Earl Andrews. The last of school is drawing nigh, Many think of it on high, But after all there is no cheer When the last of school is drawing near. Soon we dream for those same days again We are all like lions in their den; It seems there is no one there, or here Everyone is anxious for the new school year. All are glad to think it soon will start Everyone is ready with a flutter in his heart; The faculty will all be new And then, there’s another list of freshies too. At last you start the steady grind With heaps of hopes that you’ll not get behind; This after all is the time of cheer The beginning of the new school year. —Vern Lechliter, ’30. Page Seventy-three TJjneteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green THE FLAG The Flag of red, blue and white, For it we will and do fight. The Flag is respected and very old, For the colonies fought for it’s folds. At first it had only thirteen stars, But now it has forty-eight of such scars. And it only has thirteen stripes. Whose colors are of red and white. It stands for America, both in peace and war. And it is respected by many abroad and afar. The first Flag was made by Betsy Ross, And she is known this side of the sea and across. Now it is late and I shall close For this is all about the flag this little boy knows. —Hooper McConnell, ’28. PRETTY LITTLE GRADUATE Pretty little graduates, Sitting side by side. Here a bashful daughter There a boy with pride. Each is waiting patiently Just like a little dear Waiting, yes, just waiting Until his name he’ll hear. Pretty little graduates, Sitting side by side. Once you were awkward Freshmen All of your greenness trying to hide But sitting here in your gowns so black How changed is the scene From that time four years ago, When you were freshmen, green. —Ada Stone, ’28. TO MARRY OR NOT TO MARRY To marry or not to marry As some wise person has said. Is a question we often face When we look into time ahead. I know he was a student, Who upon this school stuff fed. And finally got so tired of it, He chose a married life instead. This study, study, study. Morning, noon and night. Until one’s brain is so overladen, He can’t tell wrong from right. So if you too, are disgusted With all this endless toil Just do as this person did. Marry, and end it all. Page Seventy-four —Ada Stone, ’28 Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green A. H. S. HAPPINESS Study, study, study, In that old assembly hall Sometimes I work until I think I’ll have no mind at all. Whispers, whispers, whispers, Quivering ’round the room If we don’t stop it pretty quick They’ll start a ninth period soon. Speeches, speeches, speeches, Another moralist talking Why the Auburn students should In the path of right be walking. Rah! Rah! Rah! Another rally is on To boost the students spirit ’Till after the game is won! Blah! Blah! Blah! What does that mean you ask? That’s what we all think When we don’t advance very fast. Oh, you who have powers of teaching Give to this pupil of yours. An average that deserves an “A” pin After studying these books of lore. Give to us that glorious feeling, Of treading down the aisle To receive the coveted insignia That helps our lips to smile. We are willing to work like fury When the goal is a small gold pin Denoting unusual ability And powers that make us win. So give us that time honoured token Of study, and pep. and work, It makes us feel when “Life” beckons We will not want to shirk. —Florence Curzon, '28. THE WORTH OF A SMILE If you are feeling happy And find someone feeling blue, Just smile and don’t act dreary And they’ll be happy too. When someone’s tired and weary And have almost lost their view, A smile will make them cheery And start to work anew.

Then, when life’s days are over And you’ve gone on with your smile, They’ll say you have conquered more Than a lord with all his style. —John Stevenson, ’29. Night Excitement The night was dark, cool and still Not a mouse stirring or a whip-por-will, The little town was in slumberland And I’ll explain this as well as I can. When all at once came the cry of “Fire!” And everyone tumbled from his bed or retire, They ran, tumbled, fell and cussed. For they couldn’t get dressed fast enough. When through the window came a stream of water To quench the fire that grew hotter and hotter. When at last everything was soaking and dripped The fire owned up that it was whipped. After the fire trucks drew away from the house Everything was wet and still as a mouse. And no one remained to finish his sleep That had been disturbed by the fearful shriek. And this is all that the people relate Of the fire that started from the cookstove grate. —Hooper McConnell,’28. Class of ’28 Four years ago or there about We came with faltering tread Up the steps, at Auburn High School And our hearts were full of dread, Lest the dignified instructors Should pounce upon us there, And assign us such hard lessons. That we’d give up in despair. But in the four years that have past We have so mighty grown ‘Tis the teachers, turn to tremble As they look at us and groan, Are those the timid little ones That we first looked upon. If so pray some one tell us Where their timidness has gone. Page Seventy-six Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight—Scarlet and Green We march about the universe With heads held high in air, And know no other Senior Class Was ever half so fair. But in the years that are to come We’ll do our best and try, To be a credit to our country. And our dear old Auburn High. We wish to thank the teachers For the patience they have shown, For many times I fear they thought Our heads were solid bone. But nevertheless we are grateful And right here I want to state We have had the best of teachers. Our class of ’28. —Harlan Erisman, '28.

The right sort of home has in it the brightness of sunshine and the fragrance of flowers. It suggests love and rest and gladness. It calls up pictures painted imperishably on our hearts. It speaks of fatherly care and mother’s love, the wife’s tenderness and devotion. The home is the safeguard of the nation. It is the nursery where only can be grown manly men and womanly women. But into many homes there often steals a shadow of fear that darkens the sunlight and drops bitterness into the cup of joy. It is the fear that the strong man, whose arms and brains win the bread and create the comfort of the family, may be smitten down by death. The majority of fathers And it almost impossible to lay aside sufficient from the yearly income to insure the family against adversity and possible want. Life is so insecure- The vigorous today may be still in death tomorrow. What, then can lighten the gloom of the widow’s shrouded heart, the grief of the fatherless? It is then the genuine, honest life insurance society steps in and does its work of beneficence. A man’s steps are lighter, his spirit more buoyant, as he goes out in the morning to his work, if he knows, come what may, in his home lies a paper which secures his loved ones from poverty and will bear them up until they are able to work for themselves.

You can always tell a junior, By the way he swells his chest. You can always tell a Freshman, By his timid looks and such. You can always tell a sophomore, But you cannot tell him much. McCormick: “Claude, have you done your outside reading yet?” Erisman: “No, it’s been too cold.” Margie Lawrence: ‘‘How did you like Goldsmith’s work?” Finotta Gage: “I don’t know.
